Last refreshed Aug 4, 2026 · Based on the Amazon listing and published specifications, not hands-on testing.
At roughly 3.3 pounds this reads as a heavy-duty cable cutter rather than a light wire snip, worth considering if your job involves thicker cable and you value the added leverage that weight implies.

Overview
Weighing about 1.5 kilograms, the iCrimp HX-50BI carries PVC-covered handles and enough heft to suggest cable cutting duty rather than light wire trimming.
ICrimp is known primarily for crimping and cable tools, and the HX-50BI's weight alone signals it is built for cutting thicker stock rather than trimming light wire. PVC-covered handles add grip and some insulation comfort, though the listing does not state a voltage rating, so it should not be treated as insulated for live electrical work without separate verification.
- PVC handle covering
- About 1.5 kilograms
- ICrimp branded cutter
- Positioned for heavier cable work
Who it's for
Users cutting heavier cable, such as copper or aluminum stranded cable, who need a cutter substantial enough to handle that stock. Not the right pick for anyone wanting a lightweight tool for small wire or jewelry work.
Pros and cons
- Substantial build weight suited to heavier cable
- PVC-covered handles for grip
- No stated cutting capacity or diameter
- Heavier tool, less suited to fine wire work
Performance notes
A tool this heavy, at about 1.5 kilograms, typically carries longer handles or a heavier cutting head to generate the leverage needed for thicker cable, which is consistent with cable-cutter designs in this weight class. The PVC handle covering adds a cushioned grip. No cutting diameter or capacity is listed, so confirm against the cable size you plan to cut.
